Abstract There is a striking variance between the sounds of highlife music recorded in the 1950s and 1960s and that of the 1970s. This difference can be attributed partly to the advancement of recording technology, a shift from shellac to vinyl records as well as the advent of multi-track tape recorders in Ghana. The 1970s had a unique highlife sound that can be situated within and explained by the socio-cultural context of recording approaches embraced by studio engineers. This paper investigates the technological approaches to the production of highlife songs at the Ghana Film Studio (GFS) and how they reshaped the highlife soundscape in the 1970s. It also draws attention to the influence of Francis Kwakye, the then resident recording engineer of GFS as a case study to explore highlife sound on records within this period. Employing document review, audio review, observations and interview for data collection, the paper reveals that the engineering techniques and tools employed on the recordings were socio-culturally influenced and constructed to resonate with the Ghanaian identity of the time. It further argues that the recording activities have been guided largely by a new imagination of the highlife sound recordings framed within a certain Ghanaian nationalistic context. The paper concludes that the methods employed to record highlife music of the 1970s were masterminded essentially from a Ghanaian socio-cultural sound perspective.

This book is an examination of a poet whose career offers a case study in the complexities facing Soviet writers in the Stalin era. Ol′ga Berggol′ts (1910–1975) was a prominent Russian Soviet poet, whose accounts of heroism in wartime Leningrad brought her fame. This book addresses her position as a writer whose Party loyalties were frequently in conflict with the demands of artistic and personal integrity. Writers who pursued their careers under the restrictions of the Stalin era have been categorized as ‘official’ figures whose work is assumed to be drab, inept and opportunistic; but such assumptions impose a uniformity on the work of Soviet writers that the censors and the Writers Union could not achieve. An exploration of Berggol′ts's work shows that the borders between ‘official’ and ‘unofficial’ literature were in fact permeable and shifting. This book draws on unpublished sources such as diaries and notebooks to reveal the range and scope of her work, and to show how conflict and ambiguity functioned as a creative structuring principle. The text discusses how Berggol′ts's lyric poetry constructs the subject from multiple, conflicting discourses, and examines the poet's treatment of genres such as narrative verse, verse tragedy and prose in the changing cultural context of the 1950s. Berggol′ts's use of inter-textual, and especially intra-textual, reference is also investigated; the intensively self-referential nature of her work creates a web of allusion that connects texts of different genres, ‘official’ as well as ‘unofficial’ writing.

AbstractEducation in pesantren is generally carried out in a dormitory that lives and stays for 24 hours, under the main guidance of the Kiai or the head of the pesantren. It is necessary to understand the parenting patterns of children in the pesantren so that the conditions and affective development of children are created as expected by parents who submit their children to study at the pesantren. This study aims to understand the parenting style of pesantren education on children's affective development. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data collection technique is done by interview, observation, and document review. The results showed that the boarding school's education parenting towards children's affective development was manifested through the cultivation of santri discipline, cultivation of independence, cultivation of an awareness of the importance of society, habituation of conducting book studies, developing talents and interests, and giving sanctions to students who violate the discipline. This finding reinforces the opinion that pesantren have played a role in educating people's lives. It is suggested that this parenting style be studied more widely and deeply so that it can then be applied to other pesantren. AbstrakPendidikan di pesantren umumnya dilaksanakan dalam suatu asrama yang hidup dan tinggal selama 24 jam, di bawah bimbingan utama kiai atau pimpinan pondok pesantren. Diperlukan pemahaman pola pengasuhan anak di pesantren sehingga tercipta kondisi dan perkembangan afektif anak sesuai yang diharapkan oleh orang tua yang menyerahkan anaknya belajar di pesantren. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami pola asuh pendidikan pesantren terhadap perkembangam afektif anak. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Teknik pemgumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara, observasi dan telaah dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola asuh pendidikan pesantren terhadap perkembangan afektif anak terwujud melalui penanaman disiplin santri, penanaman kemandirian, penanaman  sikap sadar akan pentingnya bermasyarakat, pembiasaan melakukan kajian kitab, pengembangan bakat dan minat, serta  pemberian  sangsi terhadap santri yang melanggar tata tertib. Temuan ini menguatkan pendapat bahwa pesantren telah berperan dalam mencerdaskan kehidupan masyarakat. Oleh karena itu disarankan agar pola asuh tersebut dikaji lebih luas dan mendalam untuk kemudian dapat diterapkan pada pesantren lainnya.

The Swedish film star Eva Dahlbeck (1920–2008) is now remembered mainly for her contributions to Ingmar Bergman’s comedies in the 1950s. The epithet ‘Pansarskeppet kvinnligheten’ (‘Battleship Femininity’), allegedly given to her by the director, has integrated her stardom into the myth-making process driven by Bergman and the press. This can erroneously give him sole credit for Dahlbeck’s fame despite her already established star status. To reconsider such an auteurist misconception, this article examines Dahlbeck’s stardom from 1946 to 1956, drawing on Richard Dyer’s seminal theorization of a film star as a media construction. By analysing Dahlbeck’s star image and its relationship to three characters she plays in Bergman’s films, the article situates these films in the dynamics formed by diverse media texts and elucidates their historical and cultural context while also providing a case study of film stardom in post-war Sweden.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Purpose The use of real-time recording technology for clinical instruction allows student clinicians to more easily collect data, self-reflect, and move toward independence as supervisors continue to provide continuation of supportive methods. This article discusses how the use of high-definition real-time recording, Bluetooth technology, and embedded annotation may enhance the supervisory process. It also reports results of graduate students' perception of the benefits and satisfaction with the types of technology used. Method Survey data were collected from graduate students about their use and perceived benefits of advanced technology to support supervision during their 1st clinical experience. Results Survey results indicate that students found the use of their video recordings useful for self-evaluation, data collection, and therapy preparation. The students also perceived an increase in self-confidence through the use of the Bluetooth headsets as their supervisors could provide guidance and encouragement without interrupting the flow of their therapy sessions by entering the room to redirect them. Conclusions The use of video recording technology can provide opportunities for students to review: videos of prospective clients they will be treating, their treatment videos for self-assessment purposes, and for additional data collection. Bluetooth technology provides immediate communication between the clinical educator and the student. Students reported that the result of that communication can improve their self-confidence, perceived performance, and subsequent shift toward independence.
